--------------------------------------
Summary: Newt should make it easier to make custom packages
Key: MYNEWT-293
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYNEWT-293
Project: Mynewt
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Newt
Affects Versions: v0_9_0_rel
Reporter: Sterling Hughes
Assignee: Sterling Hughes
Fix For: v0_9_0_rel
There are a few issues with current newt package creation:
- It's opaque as to how to create a local package in a project.
- Need to add two options:
- newt pkg new <pkgname>: create a new package in the current directory,
with a basic template
- newt pkg clone <pkg-location> <pkg-dest>: Clone an existing package into
the currnet directory.
- Currently, there must be an exact match on repository descriptor, or the newt
tool will barf. This should be smarter --
- If it can't resolve a dependency in the local project, it should look at
the current project/workspace, and try to resolve the package
- It should issue a warning if it can't find the package.
- Currently pkg.name and the name of the package directory can not match, and
the pkg.name will be taken over the pkg directory. There should be a warning
issued if the package directory does not match the package name.
